Also, use a bright light and look for scoring or evidence of abrasion in the guide itself.
Since the valves bent towards the bottom, you can also look for small chamfers worn in the guide from the bent stem, looking at it from the combustion chamber side.
If all of those tests come out OK, then they should be just fine.
Alright thanks.
What kind of valve spring compressors do you use on these heads?
